Who is not allowed to join the Association, and attend our class?

There are 3 groups of people are not allowed in our Association and classes:

Kit builders, ‘handcrafters,’ or anyone associated with the kit log home industry in any capacity, are not allowed to join our Association or attend our class. There are no exceptions.

Anyone who has already started building their log home. If someone has started building, by the time they get to the class they have usually already made many mistakes that can’t be corrected.

Very specifically we do not allow building inspectors or planning department workers to take our class. At the class we explain perfectly legal tactics, techniques and loopholes that make the construction process easier and less expensive when it comes to permits and inspections — we do not want to give the enemy any ammunition.

Anyone who belongs to one of the above groups, and tries to join our Association, will have their lifetime membership status revoked, member benefits will cease, no refunds will be issued, and the individual agrees to pay a $50,000 penalty.
